My husband and I took out a Boston Whaler for a day while we were in St Maarten- he has lots of experience with boats and boating. This is the perfect trip for someone who knows the water and is comfortable with boats. We tooled all around the bay and made several stops to check out different sites. We stopped... More

I booked the 16 footer for 4/12/12 online 2 weeks before we arrived in St. Maarten. We showed up at Turtle Tours a half hour early (to avoid the bridge opening). We were just going to wait for them to open but Susan came out, sat down with my entire family and began to share all of her information, stories,... More

First off, I met Susan in 2011 when I used this company to take my family (WITHOUT ME I took a nap) by water taxi to Marigot for the day to shop and sight-see. While booking the trip, and after the water taxi left, the 45 minutes or so I spent talking to Susan were the most enlightening of my... More

We came into St Martin on a day when several mega-ships were docked. We'd have never known there was a crowd, were it not for hearing all of our fellow cruisers complain! This was the perfect speed excursion for our family. The boat was the right size for the four of us and easy to navigate. Our daughters (ages 3... More

Our hosts Susan and Diane were simply amazing. They set us up for a fun-filled day, and boy did we have one! The boats were safe and easy to handle even for a beginner. They provided snorkeling and fishing gear. All we needed was sunscreen and refreshments. Had a wonderful lunch in Marigot and saw all the sights along the... More

My husband and I were in St. Maarten for the day, off our cruise ship, and were looking for something different to do. We rented the 16 foot Boston Whaler boat for the full day, and enjoyed what was truly the highlight of the trip for us! The owner arranged for a cab to pick us up at the cruise... More

Susan and Diane were awesome. So much fun on the water with the boat. The next time we go, will rent a boat for the whole day. Worth the price - you will have such an excellent time. Renting a boat from Turtle Tours, is something that should be on your "things to do" when you visit St. Maarten!! More

We had an excellent experience with Turtle Tours. We rented on two separate days, first a smaller boat, (then graduated to a larger, faster boat so that we could go out into the ocean). Susan was very knowledgeable about the area, provided maps for snorkling (and recommendations for dining), and really helped us plan out our day to the fullest.... More

we were going to rent a boat to tour the inland lagoon last year, but the wind was a little strong. So, we did it this year. Susan was extremely friendly and helpful. She made us feel comfortable getting laround the logoon. Their map was very helpful. Boats were in very nice shape and clean. The boats don't go too... More
